Article: Project Failure Prevention: 10 Principles for Project Control

It is now well-known and well-documented that far too many projects fail totally or partially, both in engineering generally and software engineering. Everybody has some opinions about this. This paper offers some of Tom Gilb's opinions and originality to the discussion. The basic premises in this paper are as follows:
* We specify our requirements unclearly;
* We do not focus enough on ensuring that the system design meets the requirements.

I'm gonna have to add 2 other factors:
1. The enormous # of projects out there being run by inexperienced Project Managers.
2. Tolerance to lots of change (which mainly relates to your point: We specify our requirements unclearly).
